Not Back to School Party!

A lot of the Common Ground Homeschoolers, but not ALL of them, then add parents. We're a big group! I just realized that I forgot to take a picture of the cake! It was HUGE!

Make your own solar oven

This was a cool class on the intensity of the sun and how to "catch some rays"--literally! We were able to back cookies in this box, it took an hour, but it baked! :o)

Jumbo, Extra-large, Large and Medium


Fort, Fun-o, Bok and Shimmer (respectively) and I don't know why April's egg wasn't in here, but her's are in between the size of Fort and Fun-o's eggs. And, yes, I can tell which egg belongs to which hen! We have spent many days watching the hens in their laying box, just waiting for them to sing "I laid and egg! I laid an egg!", then we went and inspected each egg before putting them in the fridge!! :o)

The Mid-Continent Railway, North Freedom, Wisconsin

Our friend, Luke, went to ride the train with us today. The museum was great!

We rode to our destination in this car.

This is where we turned around.

And we rode back in the caboose.
